It was a relatively small but appreciative and enthusiastic crowd that turned out Saturday evening, Aug. 21 for the annual Ice Cream Social hosted at Escalon United Methodist Church. Here, volunteer scooper John Weeks serves up some homemade ice cream for Bill Downard, left, as Don Vest looks on and decides on his flavor choice. There were several options of ice cream, as well as a variety of desserts. Pastor Peggy Bosch said both the Escalon and Farmington United Methodist sites have reopened for in-person services on Sundays and she also continues to do an online service for those not comfortable with or unable to attend the Sunday services.
